Wildfire knows no boundaries, so the Town of Banff is proud of its partnership with Parks Canada and neighbouring jurisdictions of Canmore, Municipal District of Bighorn, Improvement District 9 and Alberta Parks. We are collaborating on reducing wildfire risk and emergency response. In the last 20 years, Parks Canada has thinned forests, created fireguards and conducted prescribed fires in over 15,000 hectares in Banff National Park. That’s 15,000 football fields of area treated around our town
